Schmoe from Oklahoma City and my Morning show is your
morning show liner there, and we get it immediately and
we appreciate it. Can't have your morning show without your voice. Well,
if you're just waking up authority, say, the man suspected
in an attempted assassination a former president Donald Trump did
not fire any shots. Jeffrey helped me. I don't know

(01:39):
anybody that was accusing him of getting any shots off.
He was perched by the sixth Green. The President was
on the fifth fairway. Clearly he was going to wait
for him to come up the sixth fairway or get
on the sixth Green to take him out. The reports
have been crystal clear from the beginning Secret Service spotted
him with the advanced team a hole ahead of the
President and gay and fired at him. He left his

(02:03):
camping gear because he'd been there twelve hours. Nobody's hitting
anybody his BUCkies, bag of what are those things called BUCkies?
What are the beaver nuggets? Beaver whatever they are? The
captain crunch. I don't know how they got away with that.
It's Captain Crunch. Give me some milk. So I don't
know why they made such a big deal out of that.
We you know, we're gonna have Sound of the Day
at a minute, but we kind of isolated in the

(02:24):
in the early hour. How the head of the Secret
Service and I understand they didn't show up at any
of the news conferences after the first assassination attempt, which
I thought was despicable and odd. They were there yesterday,
a lot of mentions of Joe Biden, a lot of
mentions of we need more money, a lot of mentions
of we did great and thanks to Joe Biden, we

(02:45):
did great. Did I mention Joe Biden? It's just sat
kind of suspicious with me. But I don't recall anybody
trying to make a side story out of the gunman
getting any shots off. But they certainly emphasize that yesterday,
and former President Trump is blaming all the rhetoric. He

(03:05):
mentioned Joe Biden, and he mentioned Kamala Harris by name,
and I think to some degree rightly so. Last week
Kamala Harris falsely accused Trump again with a story that
has been debunked by Snopes and everybody else. When the
President said in South Carolina, there's fine people on both sides,

(03:26):
he was talking about the overall debate of the past
and what the past represents and should these symbols be removed.
He was not talking about the nuts that were threatening violence,
or certainly the nuts that took someone's life, and that
so crystal cleared anybody that was listening when it happened.

(03:48):
And yet Kamala Harris did it in the debate again,
did it on the campaign trail again. Nazis are fine
people bringing up out of context the blood bath if
he doesn't win being responsible for the worst attack on
our democracy since the Civil War, two failed impeachments. She,

(04:15):
along with President Biden their surrogeans, consistently exaggerated the January
sixth Capitol riot and use it to frame Trump as
a threat to democracy. Biden himself as labeled Trump and
MAGA Republicans as semi fascist domestic terrorists. Tim Walls called
Trump a fascist, a threat to democracy. He puts people's

(04:35):
lives in danger. Just this Saturday, twenty four hours before
the second assassination attempt, Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut,
described Trump as a candidate explicitly running on the promise
of political violence, and then an Rwellian fashion kind of
like along with January sixth, they accused Trump and his

(04:58):
supporters of stoking violence. Now again, I don't have much
use for it on either side, but if it's Donald Trump,
it's a funny nickname, or it's calling her stupid. But
they always pose and position and dehumanize Donald Trump as
a monster, a dictator, a hitler, a threat. Or how

(05:23):
about we cut to the chase this way, never before
in history if we had two assassination attempts on a
leading candidate for president, let alone a former president twice
in two months. In fact, to show you how important

(05:44):
that is, the Washington Post one of the most despicable
things I saw this morning that a Millbank did a
op ed piece the headline alone should appall you. Assassination
attempts now just a fact of life. Now, if you
were born yesterday, you don't get what he's talking about.

(06:07):
But this is a reference to JD. Vance And this
is how the left does it. Jd Vance never said,
but it doesn't matter what he ever said. It only
matters what they're gonna say. He said, over and over
again till that's what you believe, just like with Donald Trump.
In South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
JD.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Vance said, it's sad to say school shootings are just
a fact of life. Meaning there and he elaborated and
made a crystal clear meaning, there are crazy people out
there and they're going to keep coming back to schools
until we harden that target. And we can ignore mental illness,

(06:48):
we can ignore the violent society we live in, the
desensitized to life society we live in. We can deny
the breakdown of the family and all this other stuff.
We can debate over guns all we want. The only
thing that's going to keep kids safe tomorrow is we
herd the target and protect schools. Let me show you

(07:14):
how really ridiculous this Washington Post op ed piece is
this month after school shooting in Georgia claimed four lives.
Donald Trump's running mate JD. Vance argued that school shootings
are just a fact of life. Remember we just got
through discussing Gee, is this kind of this dangerous rhetoric
coming from the media, from the candidates. Is it inciting

(07:36):
nuts to target So far they just keep targeting Trump.
So if we're going to rightly focus on anything, we
should focus on the left narratives that are inciting nuts
to point guns at Donald Trump. And here they go
with another one JD. Vance out of context. Remember what
we say bias is stories. You choose to cover, stories

(07:59):
you don't. Angles, you choose to cover angles you don't.
Quotes you use, quote you don't. I'll stop there. Here's
the quote, quote unquote. I don't like that. This is
a fact of life, the Ohio senator said. But if
you're a psycho and you want to make headlines, you
realize that our schools are soft targets and we have
got to bolster security at our schools. Less than two

(08:22):
weeks later, after what appears to have been the second
assassination attempt on Trump, and now looks as though even
hard targets the once in perhaps future president are a
lot more soft than we thought. How could you compare
what little protection we give our kids in school to
what we give former presidents, let alone current presidents with

(08:44):
Secret Service? And by the way, when did we decide
that whatever happened in Pennsylvania was a resource issue? Because
even with limited resources, what are the things that stink
to high Heaven about Pennsylvania? The President had a plan

(09:05):
speaking engagement for days and days last minute till Biden
decides to go to the area. Kamala Harris decides to
go to the area. Did that spread their resources? A
little thin? Secret Service said no? But did it? What
does that have to do with the building so clearly

(09:27):
in proximity and sightline to the stage being considered out
a perimeter? What does that have to do with a
kid who was labeled suspicious for bringing and he wasn't
golfing and he had a range finder that's usually associated
with guns and long distance shooting, and then he lose

(09:47):
track of him. Then local law enforcement and bystanders with phones.
I mean, you're trying to pull off Kennedy's style stuff
in twenty twenty four. Whenever he's got a phone, everybody
sees him roaming around the buildings, climbing up the building.
Local law enforcement approaches him, He points the gun at them,
then he scoots along on the top of them, and
this goes on for minutes that he even gets eight

(10:08):
shots off before he's engaged. This guy's poking a rifle
through the golf course fence and a hole. Before Trump
gets there, he's fired upon. We don't know what this
report is going to show. We just know that members
of Congress are saying, you're going to be shocked and horrified.

(10:31):
And most of us who have studied what happened in
Pennsylvania are already shocked and horrified. So what the heck
is in it? But the level of incompetence in Pennsylvania
was not resources and money. I mean that was the
initial question. Was this poor planning, was this lack of personnel,

(10:51):
or was this something worse? And everything we're getting in
rumbles from Washington is when you see this report, you're
going to lean towards something worse. Now, let's not. It's
a big resource thing. And by the way, if you
take any of that five hundred billion dollars you're sending
to Ukraine might have another nut. Go after a current

(11:13):
or former president. They're not doing enough to win the
war with Ukraine. What's appalling here is the notion that
all of a sudden, after all these years, the Secret
Service doesn't have a a paradigm issue, doesn't have a

(11:40):
leadership issue, communication issues. No, suddenly it's all money, all personnel.
And for the Washington Posts to compare that to our
schools that have, if they're lucky, one officer. Boy, that's
a stretch even for the Washington Post. Sound of the day.

(12:00):
We have the whole news conference and you just hear
over and over again. You scratch your head and you go,
remember the Secret Service that didn't appear at any of
the news conferences after the Pennsylvania shooting. Why they didn't
want to talk, They didn't want to answer any questions, dude, incompetence,

(12:21):
gross negligence, or something worse. This time they're there front
and center, and it was just so cover your you
know what. That It made me very suspicious, I know,
because there's two worlds, right, the media world and the

(12:43):
online world. I'm just waiting for the online world. Well,
the online world already started with this shooter. Like the
previous shooter was in the black non blank on their
name the videos for that financial company. But I mean
black Bart. It's not black Bart. It was I'm blank.

(13:05):
All right. That's what happens when you both get old together. Anyway,
make a long story. Sure, here's another one that's going
to be coming to the Secret Service stage this whole
thing to look good before a report that makes them
look bad. That's what I mean. I'm not suggesting that,
I'm suggesting that's how over the top this news conference

(13:26):
was over and over again, as if to say the
President wouldn't be alive if not for the Secret Service
and Joe Biden. This is a guy that was two
months ago shot in the in the year. It was

(13:47):
just a little too over the top for my money.
And then there's this clip to add to Sound of
the Day. This is the man who was golfing with
the president.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Here he was yesterday on a beautiful day, just trying
to get some rest and relaxation like all the rest
of us. And there's a man with a with a
machine gun and assault rifle who's attempting to kill him.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
It was, it was, it was.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
It was terrible, But I got to see I got
to see a man who was stoic, courageous, cared about
his friend's safety and first before.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
His own life.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
He was an inspiration to everybody who was around him yesterday.
I wish the whole country could have witnessed what happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
This would be a good time for you to play
Donald Trump Junior and what he always says about his father.
After you're dying to play that clip for two months,
there's your moment, Jeck, you are a serious badass. There's
a man with a gun over there. That's just some
of our sound of the day. The news conference, in
particular was the most troubling. It was just just a

(15:04):
little too much. As my father would say, I was
not suspicious going into the news conference, and I kind
of left suspicious. I'm wondering if anybody else felt that way.
If you heard it in its entirety, feel free to
use a talkback button. But it was very cover you
or you know what. And that may be natural knowing
that a really bad report's coming out any day.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chna. This
is your morning show. I'm Michael del Joernald Jeffrey Lyon
at the controls on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. Well, this has been brewing for a long time.
It's one of those things that was kind of chugging along,
chugging along, chugging along, and then COVID just made it
so And then I think politicizing of this has got

(15:50):
people to focus on the one thing the politicians don't
focus on. These universities so influential, so rich in endowments,
charging so much out of control that is leading to
the student debt that is assumed to be needed, to
be forgiven. All of this has gotten everybody's attention on
higher education and for a lot of teens out there.

(16:13):
I know I have three two that are in one
that's thinking about not being in. They're losing faith in college.
And it's giving rise to skilled trades that are always
recession proof. Right, Your Morning Show correspondent Roy O'Neil, you've
seen this coming a mile away too, haven't you. Well, yeah,
you know it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
You know, four years after COVID, we have about nine
hundred thousand fewer people enrolled in undergraduate programs in college.
A lot of that is financial, and a lot of
it is young adults realizing, you know, the career I
want to go in doesn't require a degree. And finally, employers,
I think this is the real hook here. I mean,

(16:53):
you have the political stuff, but more employers are getting
rid of that standard line in help wanted ads that
college degree required.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah what it really never was. Well, first of all,
this notion, and I remember doing this twenty years ago
on local radio, is college for everyone? The answer is
obviously no. But with college being so expensive and this
assumption that, oh, I'm going to go to college, I'm
gonna have two hundred thousand dollars of student loan because
that's the only option, right. We can't go to community

(17:25):
college for free for two years, then switch to the
college that we wanted diploma from and work as we
go and maybe take five years to get out, but
leave with no doubt. No, that's an option all, that's right.
The only option is you go to college, you have
two hundred thousand dollars a student loans, and then you
get your first And I'll never forget my wife's first job.
And this is not belittling my wife. I'm just saying
I watched or go to undergraduate school. I watched her

(17:46):
go to law school. I watched your study for the bar,
past the bar only to get a first job at
forty thousand dollars, And I'm thinking, how do these numbers
make sense? Whereas somebody goes to its trade school, they're
working in six to eight months and in many cases
making eighty ninety thousand dollars in with no doubt. I mean,
it doesn't have to be for everyone.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, And you know a lot of the jobs, you know,
the technical or trade jobs that we have these days
are a lot more technical. You know, you don't necessarily
have to have greasy fingernails these days to have a
technical service job.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
And actually it's funny. Some are starting to.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Refer to Gen Z now as the tool belt generation,
as we're seeing more and more of that generation shows
some interest in trades, and as you just laid out
there realizing that you don't need to be saddled with
debt to still find a career that you enjoy and
still make certainly more than a decent income doing it.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I don't remember if it was John Lennon, what was
the quote about life's what happens while we're busy making plans.
That's kind of how my life went. Nothing was strategized
I was going to be a pastor. That clearly didn't happen.
I never made it to Bible College. But you know,
for I looked at my daughter and I said, are
you kidding me? You know, you could be out of

(19:02):
school and a year, year and a half tops be
a dental hygienist, make anywhere from an eighty to one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year with no student debt.
What are you waiting for? You know, that kind of
a thing, those kinds of SNAs. And by the way,
that particular daughter is probably going to become an MD,
a doctor. So maybe maybe that's the strategy, you know,
get your daughters to you know, beg them to be
a highgenis so that they'll become a doctor. But yeah,

(19:25):
it's just, you know, I think it's one of those
things that's every individual has to make that decision. The
problem is we're making that decision at seventeen eighteen years
old when we just don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Well, here's the other thing I think that's different as well,
is that this is also the generation of parents that
were saddled with this debt that now has these gen
Z kids and saying, oh, no.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
You don't, Charlie, that's a great point off.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I'm still paying off my student loans when I got
my art history degree.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
That didn't do me any anyway, because now I'm selling insurance.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So, you know, I think a lot of this is
parents saying, well, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Before you start
taking on all this debt, you know, make sure and
you get a degree that you don't need because it's
something that's you know, it's my poly side degree.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Great, you've better become a senator with that, because I
don't see anything else. So, Rory, what's the bottom line
as far as in all the discussions we have, and
it focused mainly on student loans and who should pay them,
the people that took them out or the taxpayers who didn't. Uh,
there's never really a clear discussion about why is college
so expensive and what are they doing with all the

(20:31):
money that they've gotten a free ride in all this debate,
haven't they you know, the very simple reason why Harvard
charges so much because it can. Because it can. But
it's not that they might have some issues in the
future because his next generation is not so quick to
go to college and very quick to go to trade school.
And as I just said, when we started this, there

(20:53):
are now nine.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Hundred thousand fewer people enrolled in undergraduate programs right now
compared to pre COVID.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
That's really a million. Great great reporting. Or he's going
to be back by the way to talk about Americans.
They are left stunned after yet another apparent assassination attempt.
There's going to be a lot of verbiage, a lot
of narratives out there. What do we really need to
take away from this second attempt? And you know, listen,
is there going to be a third? Is it going
to be against Trump again? I don't know. What I

(21:20):
do know is we've got to keep this man safe,
and we've got to keep politicians safe. And there's probably
going to be multiple things that should be learned from
this and taken away, not all rhetoric, but rhetoric ought
to be in there, not all resources. The resources ought
to be in there. Got to keep these people safe.
We'll have more with roy O'Neil next hour on that

(21:42):
winging out forty one minutes after the hour, nineteen minutes
to me to work on the East Coast. Here are
your top five stories of the day. Well, I think
President Biden was trying to say there's no place for
political violence in America. I think he finally got it out.
Brian Shook as our road the White House.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
President Biden says there's no place for political violence in
America after there was another alleged attempt on former President
Trump's life. Speaking at the National HBCU Week conference in Philadelphia,
Biden said America has suffered too many times from violence
against political leaders and it does nothing but create more problems.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Let me just say there's no and I mean this
from the bottom heart. Those of you who know we many
of you, do no place in political violence for fluga
boss in America. None, zero, never.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
The President said, our differences need to be solved at
the ballot box and not by a gun in Washington.
I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Ohio Governor Mike Dwine says the bomb threats being called
into Springfield they're not credible. In fact, they're not even
from Springfield. Tammy Trejuilo has more.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
He says the threats are originating from overseas. Winne says
at least thirty threats have been called in and they
were all hoaxes.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
The cities come.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Into the spotlight after former President Trump said Haitian immigrants
there are eating cats and dogs. City leaders have disputed
those claims. DeWine has also criticized the White House for,
in his words, not having a plan for the influx
of thousands of Haitian immigrants into the city. I'm Tammy
for HEO.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Bodycam footage of the arrest of Donald Trump's suspected shooter
is out. Lisa Taylor has details.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
Fitted shows multiple officers wearing bulletproof vests surrounding Ryan Ruth's
vehicle with weapons drawn.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
They gests to your rye, take test to your rye.
Fiver out straight back. He walking.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
When Ruth was close to the officers, he was quickly
put in handcuffs. Martin County Sheriff William Snyder City was
thankful the arrest went down without incident. I'm me, Sad Taylor.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's doing the hokey pokey on your way to the pokey.
Most voters in a new Paul S. Taylor Swift's endorsement
from Vice President Harris had no impact on how they
planned to vote. Six percent of respondent said they were
more likely to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee after
swid gave the nomination thirteen double that said, they're likely
less likely to vote for Harris, so I guess if

(24:12):
anything had hurt her. Meanwhile, eighty one percent, the vast majority,
told ABC News the Superstars endorsement had no influence on
them whatsoever. Well, it's back to the office for Amazon
workers starting next year. Brad Ford has that report.

Speaker 8 (24:26):
Amazon has been increasing the number of days employees were
required to be in the office. Since May, they needed
to be in the office at least three days a week.
Starting January two, they'll need to be in the office
the entire week. CEO Andy Jase SAMs. There will be exceptions,
just like there were before the pandemic. That includes taking
care of a sick child, some sort of house emergency,
or employees on the road to see customers.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm brad Ford. Today's full moon will be accompanied by
a partial lunar eclipse, offering people in North America, South America, Africa,
and europe An opportunity to see some of the moon's
exterior concealed by the earth sh shadow. Mark Mayfield has
more details.

Speaker 9 (25:02):
The full moon on Tuesday is also the Harvest moon,
connected with harvest time in North America according to NASA,
and is going to be emphasized because it is a supermoon.
The partial lunar eclipse starts Tuesday evening at eight forty
one Eastern Time, when the Moon will begin joining the
Earth's shadow. The full effect will not be completely noticeable
until ten thirteen Eastern time, when the rim of the
moon is covered. According to NASA, about eight percent of

(25:24):
the Moon's exterior will be in full shadow by ten
forty four pm Eastern Time by Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
And yet the only takeaway from that story I have, Jeffrey,
is how much I liked Moon's Shadow by Cast Stevens
more than Harvest Moon by Neil Young. Thanks for paying
attention and glass, Thank you. Falcons twenty two to twenty one.
A surprise road win over the Eagles last night in Philadelphia.
Kirk Cousins twenty of twenty nine, two hundred and forty
one yards and two touchdowns, including a final drive that

(25:51):
led to the game winning field goal. Falcons with the
win on the road. Cardinals shut out the Pirates ford
to nothing, Guardians four to three over the Twins, Jackson
Nats lost, and the Raised Mariners and Rangers were all
off birthdays today. The coach Phil Jackson. Do we ever
figure out how many championships he got between All Go
and the Lakers? No, but I will have that for
you momentarily. I'm gonna go as I'm just gonna guess seven.

(26:15):
See what you find six or seven. I don't know
why those two numbers ring a bell with me. It
could be because he's seventy nine years old today, Alex
Ovechkin thirty nine, and chiefs QB. Patrick Mahomes is twenty nine.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We are so glad
you were born. And thanks for waking up with your
morning show.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Listen Cory the yard Boy and my morning show is
your morning show with my buddy.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Sattled a couple of things. It was black rock. I
was trying to think of earlier yep, that the rumors
are already that both the assassin in Pennsylvania the attempted
assassin in Florida both were in black rock videos. Phil Jackson, Boy,
were we wrong? Phil Jackson had two NBA champions Chips
as a player with the Knicks seventy and seventy three,

(27:04):
and then eleven as a coach with the Bulls and
the Lake thirteen totals. He's got rings on his fingers
and rings on his toe, on his toes at least, say,
John Decker, have you ever I mean, that's a champion, right,
Phil Jackson seventy nine years old today? What a winner?

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Man?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Am I a loser? All right? John Decker is our
White House correspondent. He's following Kamala Harris, who's headed to Pennsylvania,
where she leads by three. More on that in a moment. Meanwhile,
Donald Trump's headed to where I was born, the holy
land of Flint, Michigan. Good morning, John Decker.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
You were born in Flint, Michigan. How about that? I've
been to Flint, Michigan.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yes, And may I say the doctor who delivered me
to this Earth's name was doctor Heiney. That's what's not
my birth certificate. I should have slapped him. Doctor Heiney
delivered me at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Flint, Michigan, Michigan, Wisconsin. Obviously,
along with Pennsylvania, I'm gonna throw in North Carolina and
Georgia because I'm not certain about him yet, and Arizona Nevada.

(28:05):
Those are our swing states. There's a lot of talk
about Kamala Harrison a recent poll leading by three. That
poll was taken after the debate where she should have
got a bump. Trump was terrible. She was good, a
little nasty, but good, but before this assassination attempt, and
of course the president got a big bump after the
first assassination attempt. So I don't know what to make
of that. But I've already given her Pennsylvania. But she's

(28:26):
in Pennsylvania and I can make a good case for
being there. What does she plan to accomplish? Again, she's
pretty much living there.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Well, you're right, think about what happened exactly, Michael. One
week ago, it was that presidential debate between Kamala Harris
and Donald Trump and Philadelphia and Kamala Harrison heading back
to Philadelphia today. As for Donald Trump, he, as you
point out, in Flint, Michigan for a campaign rally tomorrow.
He'll actually be in New York State on Long Island

(28:55):
in Uniondale, New York. Yeah, that's a blue state. I
think he's trying to drum up support for some of
the congressional races that are happening there. New York really
was a factor in determining who controls the House of
Representatives and the midterm elections, and will also be a
factor for who controls the House after the twenty twenty
four elections. So that's where they are right now, and

(29:16):
then later in the week. Trump on Saturday will be
in North Carolina Wilmington, North Carolina Beach community there, and
as for the vice president, shall be Michigan and Wisconsin.
So there's no criss crossing all of these battleground states
in the weeks leading up to the November fifth election.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
John and I have something in common. Whoever wins this race,
he's got to cover every day as a White House correspondent.
I'm going to be forced to talk about every day
as a radio host. Gu Right, Look, she's smart to
be in Pennsylvania because the truth of the matter is,
it's very difficult, and you play on the same map
I do two seventy to win. It's very difficult for
her to get to two seventy without Pennsylvania, if not impossible,

(29:55):
Whereas Donald Trump can lose Pennsylvania and he's still got
three two or three ways to get there. I think
Donald Trump needs to camp out in Georgia and North Carolina,
the way she's camping out in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But
I don't know how you mix in a New York
trip there as well. But the New York doesn't make
sense unless because Hokal's out, you know, trying to get

(30:16):
everybody to register to vote. Maybe maybe there's some polling
suggesting New York is closer. I don't think so. I'm
with you. Congressional race.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm I'm in agreement with you, Michael. You know, it's
we're now at forty nine days to go, and it
really is zero sum. If you're spending a day in
New York, you're not spending a day, as you point out,
in Georgia or North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
And that's I think a mistake, you know. I mean,
I really do believe that the candidates really need to
manage their time where they're going to be. Two weeks ago,
Kamala Harris head scratcher, she was in New Hampshire. That's
a blue state, you know. So both of these candidates
are are you know, mixing up where they're traveling to,
but primarily traveling to those seven all important states that

(30:58):
will determine who wins the continue with John.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Decker, White House correspondent on your morning show. This is
unfair to you because I have my two seventy map
up and you don't. But I have given her Minnesota. Yeah,
because in other words, I'll concede it. I'll give her Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania. Then it becomes apparent and necessary for Trump
to solidify Nevada and Arizona and Georgia North Carolina. He

(31:25):
wins two seventy one to two sixty two. Why is
Donald Trump not living every day either with I would
use Don't get me wrong, If I was strategizing his campaign,
I'd have RFK Junior, I'd have Telsea Gabbard, I'd have
JD Vance living in Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin and maybe
make a stop here and there. But I would mainly
park Trump in North Carolina and Georgia and then every

(31:47):
now and then fly out to Nevada and Arizona. That's
your clear path. But I just don't see it. I
see her itinerary reflecting what is necessary because at that
point that she has all this, I can flip either
Georgia or near North Carolina. I'll do North Carolina. She
wins two seventy eight to two fifty five. Something tells
me they got her in the right places. I don't
know if she's the right candidate. Time will tell, but

(32:07):
they got her in the right places.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well. They're bright people that you know, look at the
map and the same way that you do. And they
do that every day, and in their war rooms, so
to speak, they have that map up there and it's
it's a lit you know, in terms of what states
they think are are gimmes and what states that they
need to go for and so they need that's the
that map determines where they travel week in and week out,

(32:32):
and they have to make those decisions a week out.
You know, they can't just decide on a whim to
travel to Arizona or Nevada. If you're going to make
a trip out west, you make a trip out west,
and you plan for it a one week ahead of time.
So you know, that's that's something that the Trump campaign
factors in. That's something that the Harris campaign factors in.

(32:53):
And we know it's on tap this week and they're
only going to increase the amount of time they're out
on the road as we lead up to No Remember
the tip.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
